The '''Bloody Baron''' (late [[First millennium A.D.|10th century]] — early [[11th century]]) was a [[wizardkind|wizard]] who attended [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]] in the [[Hogwarts Founders|Founders]]' time and was Sorted into [[Slytherin]] house. After Hogwarts, he fell in love with [[Helena Ravenclaw]], but she did not love him. He was sent by [[Rowena Ravenclaw]] to find Helena in [[Albania]], but Helena refused to return with him and so he killed her in a rage. When he realised what he had done, the Baron stabbed himself with the same knife and died. Since then, he is one of the [[ghost]]s that haunts [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]], and the ghost of Slytherin house. Covered in Helena Ravenclaw's blood to this day, he earned himself the moniker of the "Bloody Baron".
